[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 638301, member: 6198"] only you can judge what you are willing to put out in the way of costs. IF you can not afford it, maybe just the Johnes and Bvd tests shoudl be done because they are important. When we have small animals like that, they become our food source if they are healthy. Can't sell them cause you won't get much for them, but, when you figure the cost to feed ourselves, they are worth their weight that is for sure. Figure how much you can spend, and how much you are willing to spend and go from their. Set your priorities. That calf might have been getting some milk, but how much, and what was the qualtity like from a sick cow? When a cow is sick, the milk might be there but the vitamins, protien, and fat will not. These are what the calf needs. Kind of like a baby drinking whole milk as compared to skim. [/QUOTE]
